Aren't creamy soups like the BEST thing on this planet!!! They are so comforting, filling and super easy to make. Plus you can make them in less than 30 minutes from literally ANY veggie that you have in your fridge.

Creamy veggie soups are my favorite throughout the whole year. Especially when colder weather and flu season strikes. Delicious immune boosting Carrot Ginger Soup and flavorful Spicy Broccoli Soup that heals EVERYTHING are constantly on our family menu. But lately, I had one more soup on my mind. That is a creamy tomato soup.

The whole story began with my Grandma's' famous tomato soup. She makes the best tomato soup in the family. It's hard to outdo that sweet-sour creamy perfection she makes. Trust me, I've tried many times. I can say I have some (quite good) level of cooking skill but seems not that good enough to make her recipe taste exactly the same.

I was so disappointed with constant (unsuccessful) attempts to copy that soup that I eventually stop trying. Since we really love that tomato soup I decide to give it a try one more time. But this time, I didn't follow Gran's famous recipe but rather created my own. With little Googling and trial and error, I came up with this creamy deliciousness - my own perfect Tomato Apple Soup.

This soup came out just as I imagine it - slightly different, super HEALTHY and absolutely delicious - thick, rich in taste, with beautifully balanced sweet-sour components, perfectly flavored with fragrant spices. Soup passed the ultimate husband test (allow me to brag a bit) with flying colors.

What makes this Tomato Apple Soup so special is that I made it with all whole FRESH ingredients. It doesn't contain any tomato concentrate, nor canned tomatoes. Nothing from the tube or can. So it's not loaded with added unhealthy sugars nor any additives. I used fresh ripe and juicy tomatoes. Tomatoes are now in season and loaded with lycopene - a powerful antioxidant that protects our body from many diseases and premature aging, and in particular, protects our heart and cardiovascular system.

To balance sour tomato taste I used naturally sweet fresh apple. Its subtle sweetness mellowed the acidity of tomatoes allowing tomatoes rich flavor to shine through. Tomatoes and apples in this soup marry perfectly together, and the addition of turmeric and dill made a truly amazing flavor combination.

What's also super neat about this Tomato Apple Soup is that it can be made in less than 30 minutes. Fresh ingredient soup made in less than half an hour? You bet! If you looking to speed up the process even more, you can prep fresh tomato sauce in advance. Just boil fresh tomatoes and refrigerate it in glass jar with the lid. Make sure you don't use any spices (except salt) so you can use that sauce later in whatever meal you want.

This Tomato Apple Soup is best served freshly made and hot, with some wholegrain croutons or crackers. You can top it with some Emmentaler cheese for ultimative diner experience.

A really interesting fact about this soup is that it's actually a fruit soup! WHAT.. yes I know?! Tomato is officially considered a fruit. I can only imagine facial expression of your family or guests when you tell them you'll be serving them FRUIT soup for dinner.

Well, I can't wait to hear what you (and your loved ones) think about this delicious Tomato Apple Soup.

Enjoy!

      Hehe YES right! When I say to people "don't leave out the DILL in this soup" they don't believe me. But they usually msg me later saying exact the same thing you just did ;) I'm really glad you like the soup. It's SOOO HEALTHY, not just super tasty! Thanks for feedback and stopping by. Cheers!

    I have a similar recipe that I really didn't care for, but this one looks far better! Definitely trying this one tomorrow! Trying to be healthy can lead to some crazy recipes, but yours sounds so yummy. I have been reading William Manger's book Live Longer, Live Better and have learned that a healthy lifestyle can be fun and taste good too. Just habits that need to change to avoid things that will eventually cause issues.

      Thanks Ali for stopping by. Hehe yes, it sounds weird adding apple to a tomato soup, BUT it's sooo good, trust me. Make sure you serve this soup with toasted whole grain bread or croutons. It's super yummy. I'm hooked onto this soup. Well, we all are (my family I mean).

      I'll check out that book. Sounds interesting. Thanks! Yes, it's all about changing your current (bad) habits - replacing it with new better ones. And you wouldn't believe how one small change can impact your life in long-term. You just have to believe in the process, be persistent and don't give up.
